With the plethora of nail artists and nail polish related accounts on Instagram you might wonder, “Who is worth following?”. I have trouble with this myself, and I actually follow about 450 artists, indie polish makers, and commercial brands on Instagram at any given time. And the list seems to always be growing – crazy, I know! Now that I have been using Instagram for a while, I have certain accounts that I really LOVE and I am constantly liking and commenting on their photos. But even then, there are SO many great accounts to follow! In this series of posts I will share my absolute favorite accounts grouped by the type of account so you can find just what you are looking for and feel that special glow of falling in love with some new nail art. Posts in this series will focus on:
- My Top 30 Accounts – Those “WOW” accounts that you want to keep checking every day
- Alternative Nails – Nail art with a little something extra – maybe a little bit edgy, a little bit dark, but always different
- Indie Polish Brands – Independent nail polish makers
- Nail Art Hobbyist’s – Nail art enthusiasts who paint because they love nail polish
- Nail Art Technicians – Nail art professionals
- Nail Art Feature Accounts – Instagram accounts that feature other artists and give proper credit
Black Cat Nails on Instagram
If you don’t already, I hope that you follow me on Instagram! I have two accounts – one that supports the blogs where I also post about my “nail life” and a second feature account for “alternative nails.”
My Top Commercial Brand Accounts
There are a lot of nail polish brands that I purchase that do have Instagram accounts, but for whatever reason many of these accounts are stagnant, and just not very much fun to follow. That is not true of these brands! They have great pictures, post regularly, show their products off really well, and include lots of fashion AND real world pictures. Do you know of any other fun and funky brands that I should be following? Let me know in the comments!
